Hi,

Could not find a wiring diagram, but if you don't have voltage to the ignitor I would check the thermal fuse on the blower housing. You will have to remove the front of the dryer to access it. Not 100% if this thermal fuse kills the dryer if it's bad or just the burner, but it's easy enough to check.

This is what it should look like on your model. If it's bad it will check open or no continuity with a ohm meter.

this is model DG612 Series 2. According to the parts diagram the thermal fuse starts with series 7. the blower housing contains two cycling thermostats each with 3 electrical terminals that appear to be wired in parallel. there also is a high limit thermostat on the burner assembly. would a problem with any of these items prevent lighting of the igniter? how would one test these thermostats with three terminals(two opposite one)?
